(Review) CPH’s PIPELINE a substantial look into broken system
by Kate Klotzbach (Performing Arts Writer) 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CPH’s PIPELINE a substantial look into broken system "...this Dominique Morisseau play is well-written, well-directed, well-acted, well-designed, and well worth your 100 minutes." ...the one thing that is never questioned is the humanity of the characters. The people presented are struggling, and they are relatable, likeable, and truthful. The play focuses on relationships, and shows how the bigger system pulls at each person. The production does this by tugging at the heart, not by shoving a message in your face. The characters could be your own family, your friends, your neighbors, or your co-workers.

by Theatre 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE & DANCE PRESENTS INTO THE WOODS October 24 - November 3, 2019 Allen Theatre Mainstage, Playhouse Square Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by James Lapine www.playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/multicategory/category/cleveland-state-unive…> | 216-241-6000 Find out why getting what you wish for doesn't necessarily mean "happily ever after." Directed by Russ Borski, and with musical direction by Maria DiDonato, this Tony Award-winning musical begins with "Once upon a time..." and tells the intersecting stories of several Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault fairy tales. Just when everyone's journey seems to be resolved, the characters' worlds are shattered, only to be recombined to show that nobody really lives "happily ever after." Audience members will recognize characters such as Jack and his beanstalk, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Little Red Ridinghood. The story also has a Mysterious Man, a Witch, and a Narrator, among other colorful characters. "The musical features a cast of 22 undergraduates, based in the Department of Theatre and Dance, and the cast is inclusive of other departments such as Film, Music, and Education," says Borski. "Besides the brilliant music and lyrics of Mr. Sondheim, the story explores deeper issues between parent and child, and shows how personal decisions of desire and greed can cause collateral damage in the ones we love the most." The CSU cast includes Erin Ashdown (Lucinda), Tasha Brandt (Witch), Machala Comenschek (Jack's Mother), Kierstan Conway (Florinda), John Cox (Steward), Claudia Cromly (Baker's Wife), Chan Cunningham (Jack), Sonia Fonseca (Granny), Jaren Hodgson (Narrator), Libby Kendzerski (Cinderella), Alexander Koler (Cinderella's Prince), Zavier McLean (Wolf), Brooke Myers (Cinderella's Mother), Carter Nagy (Rapunzel's Prince), Emmett Podgorski (Cow Impostor), Maggie Raiff (Rapunzel), Sullivan Ratcliff (Baker), Mia Snyder (Giantesse), Suzanna Szabados (Cinderella's Stepmother), Jarrod Vullo (Cinderella's Father), and Katelyn Zeitz (Little Red Ridinghood).

Rave review for HOMOS, or Everyone in America: now at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

RAVE SCENE REVIEW FOR _HOMOS, OR EVERYONE IN AMERICA_ NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM “Homos makes its audience fall in love with it, and it will break your heart, make you laugh and even make you think.” “The crew at Convergence-Continuum and Director Clyde Simon clearly understand the purpose of a play like Homos and have given it a stellar treatment, taking its concept and immersing its audience ...” “Productions such as this hinge on incredible performances to keep the audience’s attention, and they may have found the two most capable people to carry this particular story.” “Convergence-Continuum welcomes those lured by its inane humor to take that trip, and come out the other side with an important message about acceptance and optimism for the future of human rights and equality.” (Roman Macharoni, _Scene_) READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE [1]. _Homos, or Everyone in America _ is told through interweaving glimpses, jumping around among moments over a five year period in the relationship of a contemporary couple. What does it mean to be in a committed relationship? Is monogamy just monotony? If navigating this isn’t complicated enough, what can happen when, on top of everything else, the couple is unexpectedly confronted by a vicious hate crime? _Homos_ is a fearless, often funny, openly emotional examination of the moments that can bring two people together – or pull them apart. _Homos _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director, Clyde Simon. Members of the cast are Nate Homolka, Kieron Cindric, Corey East and Rocky Encalada. _Homos, or Everyone in America _runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through Nov 9 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Fri and Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and $10 for students. Thurs tickets are $15 gen. admission, $12 seniors and $8 students. Tickets and information are available at convergence-continuum.org [2] and 216-687-0074. ------------------------------- Convergence-continuum’s production of _Homos, or Everyone in America _is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

NO EXIT opening November 1 at Twin Masks Performing Arts Center - GET YOUR TIX NOW!
by Claudia Lillibridge 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is proud to announce its production of No Exit, written by Jean Paul Sartre, adapted from French by Paul Bowles, and directed by Brian Westerley, opening Friday November 1 and running Friday and Saturday evenings, 8pm performance time, until November 16. Cast includes Jerry Cordero, Robert Hawkes, Beth Gaiser and Annette Fernandez. Tickets are $15.00 for Adults and $10.00 for Seniors and Students. Tickets are available for purchase now via our website ( www.twinmasks.org) or by calling 330-888-3211. We accept cash, VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. THE STORY OF NO EXIT: Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit. The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. It is an eternal torment. Rights are secured with permission by Samuel French, Inc. Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to producing intimate, thought-provoking shows that engage, entertain and encourage audiences to consider different perspectives and points of view. TMPAC is a proud member of OCTA and AACT. We are located at 9076 Church Street, Suites 2 and 3, Twinsburg, Ohio; www.twinmasks.org; telephone: 330-888-3211. Email: claudia(a)twinmasks.org
